After a days' rest due to lack of time, I sat upon the Hilset on the Tacx Satori rollers once more today. My new Core Stability exercises left me with dull muscles in hip and buttock but my legs were strong and vibrant and I could maintain a good pace throughout the hour-long ride.

Rode an hour on the Tacx Satori this early afternoon. Reading another novel by Clark Ashton-Smith and listening via Spotify to some tunes of Nazareth, MSG and Iron Savior.
Legs felt fine .

An appointment with my kinesitherapist had me learn some new exercises to strenghten my core. Some of them were very difficult and needed a lot of concentration to perform. I was to include them with my previous exercises, building up the reps as teh days passed.
When I got home, I rode an hour on the Tacx Satori. My legs felt strong and time passed swiftly.

Back at work so when I got home it was late in the afternoon. I settled on the Tacx Satori for an hour of easy pedalling, at resistance 1. Legs felt fine.

The muscles in my buttocks felt taut this morning. The exercises for the core-stability are having an effect on the muscles they are supposed to strenghten. Let's hope they continue to do so when the body becomes accustomed to them.
Today I only spent half an hour on the Tacx, allowing my legs to have a day off .
Clark-Ashton Smiths' "Double Shadow" was my horror-story for the day. One of his best in my opinion.

Another ride on the Hilset, with its rear wheel clasped in the Tacx Satori. The legs are fine. Doing the Core-stability exercises for a couple of days now and it feels as if I need to master control of muscles I was previously unaware of. Slowly making progress and I have been feeling some muscles ache in places I have not felt muscles ache before. Hope I am doing them right. I have a new appointment with the kine next wednesday.

Got on the Tacx Satori this morning for 40 minutes of recovery. I am starting a new book on my Kindle, The return of the Sorcerer , a collection of short tales by Clark Ashton-Smith. I have read most of them earlier in my life but it still fills me with an eery feeling browsing through the unspeakable horrors that he so masterly describes. Late-evening stuff.

A visit to Ellen Delie - kinesitherapist- yesterday and I received 3 exercises to start my Core Stabilization programme. Little exercises but they prove very hard to do. Tensing the right muscle in my abdomen, moving my leg for a couple of cm's at a time and rotating my pelvis without using my back. Lots of concentration and feel is needed.
I must do these exercise twice each day.
Started out with an hour on the Tacx Satori, finishing my read of F.Paul Wilsons' Sibs. Legs felt good, no problem there.
After wards I completed the first time my CS exercises. Will take a while to get the feel for them but I am taking this one step at a time.

Had an appointment with kinesitherapist Ellen Delie this morning. Looks like my pelvis and especially the muscles and tendons surrounding it, needs to be strenghtened and the next couple of weeks we will work on that.
Arriving home I got out for a forest walk. Some 5.5K of it.
Arriving home I got on the Tacx Satori for a recovery ride for half an hour.

The weather looked better this morning but even though I felt a stronge urge to take one of the bikes and ride outside, I resisted and got on the Hilset on the Tacx Satori instead. Rode a good hour.

Another ride on the Tacx Satori was on the planning today. It was raining outside so it didn't hurt too much to stay inside.
Some 41 minutes and a good pace.

Yesterday saw me take another visit at the osteopath . Again my lower back, spine and hip were examined. It looked better, he said. He gave some twists to my vertebrae and I felt like something heavy ran over me when I left.
This evening I did another ride on the Tacx Satori, some 41 minutes.

Yesterday's visit to the doctor revealed what I was already suspecting. Sacroilliac joint pain and a need to regain some body core stabilty whilst letting the area heal. This evening I have another appointment with Frigyes for an osteapath and kinesitherapy session. Both or either. My doctor told me walking was OK, running was not, riding a bike was fine but please stay on the rollers for a while.
So I did half an hour of that this afternoon after arriving home from work.

Did some more training on the Tacx Satori. Finished reading Dan Browns' 'Inferno' yesterday on the Kindle so today I started on another F.Paul Wilson thriller, this one is called 'Sibs'.
After 51 minutes I felt no pain in the hips or lower back. Later tonight I have an appointment with my doctor, let's hope she can shine some light on the nature of the nagging pains that have been troubling me on and off for the last couple of weeks.
